After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

The housekeeper understood the Mu family's worries and said comfortingly, "Young Master, don't worry."

"If the prince really dares to attack the Mu family, the consequences will not be as simple as death."

He explained in detail, “A balance must be sought among the various powerful people in Rongdu.”

"Balance?" Mu Pingping and others didn't understand.

The butler said, "This is the technique of the Emperor."

"The Emperor will not allow a certain noble to become too powerful and will arrange for another noble to act as a check and balance."

"Even if it's a marriage between powerful people, it's not something that can be arranged just because one wants to."

"For example, the current prime minister has censors watching his and his family's every move, and they will be impeached if they are not careful."

"Behavior within a certain range is acceptable, but beyond that range it is not acceptable."

After he explained it this way, Mu Pingping and others understood a little.

Mu Baobao looked here and there in confusion, she didn't understand.

Forget it, if she doesn’t understand, then she doesn’t understand. As long as it doesn’t affect her eating, drinking and making money, it’s fine.

Mu Pingping felt that he had learned a lot. Mr. Sang was right. A good housekeeper can be of great help to a family.

"Butler, will the Emperor check and balance the Crown Prince?"

The butler hummed, "Originally, the Emperor appointed a Crown Prince in order to balance the situation among all parties and to test the other princes."

"The current prince is not really favored by the emperor."

"If the Crown Prince had been a good heir and hadn't had so much trouble with his mother, the Emperor wouldn't have been like this."

"Unfortunately, the Crown Prince and his mother always act smart and do things they think are clever."

Zhu slapped her thigh and said, "Aren't these the people from our village..."

"Ahem!" Father Mu coughed twice and glanced at her. "This is Rongdu, and that's the prince. Stop talking."

After living in Rongdu for a while, one thing he learned was that one should not criticize the powerful and wealthy here, and one should be careful with what he says.

Although it's not a big problem at home, it's always better to be careful.

Zhu patted her lips twice and smiled ingratiatingly, "I will pay more attention and promise not to talk nonsense again."

Father Mu also understood that it was not so easy to change a habit formed over many years, so he did not mention the matter again.

"In other words, the Emperor will deal with the Crown Prince?"

The housekeeper said that this was the case, "Originally, because of the Gao family incident, the emperor had many complaints against the crown prince and his mother."

"The Crown Prince and his mother haven't shown any genuine repentance, and yet they've done something like this. This is tantamount to crossing the Emperor's bottom line."

"I estimate that it won't be long before the Emperor will deal with the Crown Prince and his mother."

After he said this, Mu Laodi and the others all felt relieved. As long as the prince and his mother could not cause trouble for their family, it would be good.

"Okay, okay, we've worked hard all day." Father Mu clapped his hands twice.

"Have a good rest tonight. We won't all go to the shop tomorrow. Leave it to the second and third brothers."

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San agreed. The original agreement at home was that after the shop opened, it would be mainly managed by the two brothers.

"Grandpa, is it time for dinner?" Mu Baobao rubbed his belly, "I'm hungry."

"Let's eat." Father Mu couldn't bear to let his granddaughter go hungry. "After dinner, do what you need to do."

The family was having a lively meal, completely forgetting about the prince and his mother.

the other side.

Imperial Palace, side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Sheng had just finished his meal and was taking a walk with Zhong Ling.

"Old Zhong, isn't the weather a little too hot this year? What do the Imperial Observatory say?"

He looked at the afterglow of the sunset with worry. The sun had already set, but it was still so hot.

Zhong Ling bent over and walked behind him, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory says there might be a drought this year."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory hasn't predicted any rain yet, so I'm afraid it will continue to be sunny."

Emperor Sheng counted the days with a frown on his face, "It's been sunny for half a month, right?

Zhong Ling went over the days in her mind and said, "Your Majesty has a good memory. It has indeed been sunny for half a month."

"The temperature wasn't this high at the beginning, it's only been this high in the last seven or eight days."

"I heard that almost all the big families are using ice. Even the ice in the shops is sold out in the morning."

It’s not this hot at this time of year in previous years, so it’s not time to use ice yet.

Emperor Sheng became even more worried. "If the weather continues to be sunny like this, I'm afraid the crops in the fields will not survive."

"Old Zhong, please pay more attention to these things recently. Tell me if there is anything."

Zhong Ling took note of this incident. If there really was a drought, countless people would have nothing to eat or drink, and it would have a very bad impact on the entire Rong Dynasty.

"Your Majesty." A eunuch bent over and walked over quickly.

He bowed his head slightly and saluted, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent his butler to the Mu family to deliver a gift, congratulating them on opening the shop."

"It's just that the prince who manages the prince's house isn't very nice."

Emperor Sheng's already bad mood became even worse after hearing this, "The Crown Prince really has a good plan."

"Old Zhong, what is Gao Da Ying doing?"

Zhong Ling said, "Your Majesty, Gao promised to contact many people inside and outside the palace during this period, and he also frequently communicated with the Crown Prince."

In his opinion, both the Crown Prince and Lady Gao were too stupid and had ruined a good hand of cards.

Emperor Sheng sneered, "With just a little provocation from the Queen, Gao promised to fall into the trap."

"I really didn't expect that she and the Crown Prince would be so stupid."

Zhong Ling didn't dare to respond.

Emperor Sheng didn't want him to answer, so he continued, "Pass on my decree. The Empress has been unwell recently and needs to recuperate. The power of the harem will be temporarily transferred to the highest-ranking officials to jointly manage it."

"Gao promised to banish her to the cold palace. The Crown Prince... the Crown Prince's affairs will be discussed at the court tomorrow morning."

Zhong Ling responded "Yes", and the emperor was going to depose the prince.

Originally, the prince had a glimmer of hope, but it was the prince and Gao Da Ying who were so stupid that they had to go through so much trouble.

The next day, morning.

Mu Baobao came to Hua's house.

She should have come to the Hua family a long time ago, but the weather was too hot and her family had to open a shop, so she put it off until now.

"Second Brother, your house is so beautiful."

She held Hua Yun's hand and looked here and there.

The Hua family is very luxurious and noble, but it is luxurious and noble within the prescribed range. After all, the Hua family is not short of money.

Hua Yun pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Baby, take whatever you like. You can take everything here."

Baby Mu shook his little head and said very obediently, "No."

"My grandma said that we shouldn't just take other people's things."

Grandma also said that no matter how much you like something from someone else's house, you can't just take it.

This is very bad behavior.

Hua Yun picked up the little junior sister and said with a sigh, "Your grandma taught you so well."
